Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 660

The next morning, Charlotte threw up her entire breakfast in the bathroom.

Hearing the sounds, Hiram knocked on her door. "Sis, are you okay?"

When she didn't answer, he opened the door and found her slumped weakly beside the toilet. He rushed to her side. "I'm taking you to the hospital!"

He lifted her into his arms and had just stepped out of the room when he saw Lilith standing at the door. Before he could react, Lilith’s eyes fell on Charlotte, pale and clearly in distress. "What's wrong with her?" she demanded.

"No time to explain! I have to get my sister to the hospital!"

He hurried past Lilith and out the door.

"Hey, wait! I'm coming with you!" Lilith called, chasing after them.

In the emergency room hallway, Lilith and Hiram waited anxiously for news. Soon, a doctor emerged. "Who is the patient's family?"

Hiram raised his hand. "I am! She's my sister!"

"Does she normally have severe morning sickness?"

Hiram froze, unsure what to say. Beside him, Lilith asked in confusion, "What morning sickness?"

Hiram looked down, completely lost. "I... I don't know."

"Is the baby's father not here?"

"Doctor, are you saying she's pregnant?" Lilith asked, her voice sharp with shock.

The doctor gave them an exasperated look. "You're her family and you don't even know if she's pregnant? She's six weeks along. If she's always this sick, we'd recommend admitting her, running some tests on her urine and electrolytes to check for dehydration and imbalances."

Lilith stared at her, and after a moment, the meaning behind Charlotte's words seemed to sink in. She pursed her lips. "Okay, fine. I'll keep your secret."

The three of them were leaving the hospital when they coincidentally ran into Dean Chase.

Dean Chase blinked, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. "Lottie! When did you get back?"

Charlotte managed a small smile. "A few days ago."

"You came back without even giving me a call! It's been too long," Dean Chase said, his expression as warm and kind as she remembered. "You left the hospital in such a rush back then. I always regretted not being able to give you a proper send-off."

Charlotte gave a polite laugh. "It was a hasty departure. I apologize for not saying goodbye. I appreciate you thinking of me."

Dean Chase waved his hand dismissively. His gaze lingered on her face for a moment, then glanced at the two people standing behind her. Without asking further questions, he said, "I have a day off in a couple of days. We should have dinner. We can catch up and you can tell me about your research."
